Main Street Announces First Quarter 2020 Regular Monthly Dividends

Regular Monthly Dividends of $0.205 per Share for each of

January, February and March 2020

HOUSTON, November 5, 2019 — Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) (“Main Street”) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors declared regular monthly cash dividends of $0.205 per share for each of January, February and March 2020.  These monthly dividends, which will be payable pursuant to the table below, total $0.615 per share for the first quarter of 2020, which are consistent with the regular monthly dividends declared for the fourth quarter of 2019 and represent a 5.1% increase from the regular monthly dividends paid for the first quarter of 2019. Since its October 2007 initial public offering, Main Street has periodically increased the amount of its regular monthly dividends paid per share and has never reduced its regular monthly dividend amount per share.  Including all dividends declared to date, Main Street will have paid $27.755 per share in cumulative cash dividends since its October 2007 initial public offering at $15.00 per share.

As previously discussed by Main Street, it is Main Street’s current intention to fully absorb its semi-annual supplemental dividends into its regular monthly dividends, and in the process maintain and grow its total combined dividends, by gradually reducing its semi-annual supplemental dividends while increasing its regular monthly dividends over multiple years beginning in 2019.

Summary of First Quarter 2020 Regular Monthly Dividends

Declared	Ex-Dividend Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Amount Per Share
11/4/2019	12/27/2019	12/30/2019	1/15/2020	$	0.205
11/4/2019	1/21/2020	1/22/2020	2/14/2020	$	0.205
11/4/2019	2/19/2020	2/20/2020	3/13/2020	$	0.205
		Total for First Quarter 2020:		$	0.615

The final determination of the tax attributes for dividends each year are made after the close of the tax year.  The final tax attributes for 2019 and 2020 dividends are currently expected to include a combination of ordinary taxable income and qualified dividends and may include capital gains.

Main Street maintains a dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan (the “Plan”).  The dividend reinvestment feature of the Plan (the “DRIP”) provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of Main Street’s registered stockholders who hold their shares with Main Street’s transfer agent and registrar, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, or certain brokerage firms that have elected to participate in the DRIP.  Under the DRIP, if Main Street declares a dividend, registered stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of Main Street common stock.  The direct stock purchase feature of the Plan (the “DSPP”) provides investors with a convenient and economical method to purchase shares of Main Street common stock.  More information about the Plan (including the DSPP prospectus) can be found on the Main Street website (https://ir.mainstcapital.com/dividend-reinvestment-and-direct-stock-purchase-plan).
